2. Added libXft.so.2
What are the benefits of this? Will it be easier to use freetype fonts in DSL, or is it simply being able to more easily use applications that support them?

We can use the standard build of MurgaLua.
Also, Opera needs this, as well, as some others and some that are under consideration of inclusion in the core. Some of the items in this change log are to better support what I am working on.

Right,

opera 9.x needs it.

I tried DSL 3.4rc1 with a USB boot and the acpid boot code on my laptop - everything seems to work OK and thanks for adding acpid.

When I tried the power button shutdown, /var/log/acpid showed this:
Code Sample
[Tue Jun 19 16:28:41 2007] starting up
[Tue Jun 19 16:28:41 2007] 4 rules loaded
[Tue Jun 19 16:32:45 2007] received event "button/power PBTN 00000080 00000001"
[Tue Jun 19 16:32:45 2007] executing action "/opt/acpi/actions/powerbtn.sh"
[Tue Jun 19 16:32:45 2007] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES
/opt/acpi/actions/powerbtn.sh: line 5: exitcheck.sh: command not found
[Tue Jun 19 16:32:45 2007] END HANDLER MESSAGES
[Tue Jun 19 16:32:45 2007] action exited with status 127
[Tue Jun 19 16:32:45 2007] completed event "button/power PBTN 00000080 00000001"

When I modified /opt/acpi/actions/powerbtn.sh to read "/usr/local/bin/exitcheck.sh reboot" instead of "exitcheck.sh reboot", the laptop rebooted as expected. I guess the lid script will also need a similar modification.
